2:22 take 1
by @ayais
Liner Notes
Surprisingly, folks from the future sent a composition titled 2:22 through a tiny wormhole. It's a lot like a piece by composer John Cage, who wrote a similar (though longer) piece in the 50s.
The idea is that anything you do is music.
To honor them all (future folks and Cage) I recorded myself puttering around the studio tidying up. If you like, you can use the recording as background. Play a tune, wash a dish, file your fingernail. A big no pressure collab.
Lyrics
anything you do is fine.

Ha! If only I'd found this earlier, I could have slid it into my 4'33'' song when I was trying to pad it out at the end. I might have a go at adding something. I hope you're okay. You sound like you might be a a bit of distress

That's some noisy puttering 😆 There's a tune to be had in that humming at one point too!

Sounds like more than pottering! I would add this is I could get to a studio!

Reminds me a bit of Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast, which I love. Great idea here. I am soooo tempted to try to do something with this. Can't promise anything, but I can give it a try....

Sounds like you're doing some heavy lifting there. Those folks from the future sure leave a lot of stuff around for you to pick up 😁

Thought I should listen to this one before listening to Fuzzy's additions. Love the kind of sarcastic take on Cage's concept, haha. Feels like silence is a most unwanted guess, and you're trying to keep it at bay.
